Gomer again conceived and gave birth to a daughter, and the LORD said to Hosea, “Name her Lo-ruhamah, 3 for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I should ever forgive them. 1Pe 2:10Hos 2:232Ki 17:6Hos 2:4Isa 27:112Ki 17:23-41Hos 9:15-17 Yet I will have compassion on the house of Judah, and I will save them—not by bow or sword or war, not by horses and cavalry, but by the LORD their God.” Zec 4:6Isa 12:22Ki 19:35Psa 44:3-6Hos 11:12Isa 7:14Zec 2:6-11Jer 23:5-6

Yet the number of the Israelites will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or counted. And it will happen that in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’ 6 2Co 6:18Gal 4:6-7Jhn 1:12Rom 9:25-281Pe 2:9-101Jn 3:1-2Rom 8:14-17Isa 43:6 Then the people of Judah and of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint for themselves one leader, and will go up out of the land.
